Description

TopMessage systems are being used around the world in many different data logging, data acquisition and testing applications. They have been used successfully in the fields of process technology, test engineering, and research and development. TopMessage devices process any signal fast and reliably from just a few thermocouples right up to thousands of measurement points spread over several plant areas. TopMessage devices have capabilities for both Ethernet networking as well as direct PC connection (P2P).

The analog inputs can be attached to RTD sensors, thermocouples, volt or 20 mA signals enabling any physical value to be acquired (e.g. temperature, pressure, flow-rate, vibration data). The measurement data is saved as scaled and linearized to the device (e.g. mm/s, m³/h, ...). Scaling is pre-configured for all current thermocouple and RTD sensor types. The high measurement accuracy, with up to a 24-bit resolution, enables high-precision measurement to take place without the need for any signal amplification.

An individual TopMessage device can be equipped with up to 30 analog inputs or 48 digital inputs which can be expanded to up to 1000 hardware/software channels with slave modules. Any combinationof I/O modules is possible. Up to ten slave devices, each with identical housings and each equipped with two I/O modules, can be attached to a master. Data transfer between master and slave takes place via a CAN bus.
